Many donateable PCs can’t run Windows 11. Should non-profits still be giving them away? Should they install Linux instead?

    The TPM chip is the issue here, and not a requirement under Linux.

        See that’s where you’re wrong though, because my computer does have a TPM chip and still can’t run Win11. That’s because Microsoft locked them down to v2.0 or newer ones and mine’s only a v1.2 chip.
